I hear you. You and I are now in violent agreement. There is definitely a disagreement about how many parks we need.
But I am very concerned about the talk that is coming from the government and from select witnesses who are coming to the committee trying to claim, or frankly make the spurious allegation, that money coming into Canadian conservation groups is somehow sullied, dirty, or inappropriate money. We had a witness come here and suggest it was illegal money. Not you, sir. I think that's very dangerous. I am very disappointed in the government's conduct in this regard. We have had ministers call groups who are very concerned about Canada's conservation standards and levels “radicals”. We have had a cabinet minister stand up and allege they are funnelling and money laundering—money laundering money. Of course, when he is asked to actually provide names outside the immunity of the House of Commons, he doesn't have the guts to do it.
I am very concerned when we hear this kind of talk. I think Yukoners would want to see a good balance here. I just can't see why Yukoners don't want to see an appropriate role by both the private and of course the government sector, the regulatory sector, and of course from NGOs. I don't understand why there is such an animosity here for the appropriate role of an actor in civil society. I don't get that.
